Is your October baby eating solids?

My Charlie will be 7 months on the 5th and he’s just started with toast… I blend pasta so it’s still a little lumpy but not full pieces and he loves his banana although not a fan of holding it so I put it in a weaning dummy thing x

My little girl was 6 months on 10th we gave tried broccoli, carrots, sweet potato parsnips, peas, cucumber, avocado, courgette, potato, banana, strawberries, mango, pear, raspberries crushed in natural yogurt and I also tried her with egg. She has tried some of these twice to get used to them. I am doing BLW so all these were served like finger food but I try and serve it a couple of ways to see how she likes it x

My daughter been eating porridge since 5months.

My littile girl isn’t a big fan of solid food, but we’ve been trying since 6months

My daughter was six months old on the seventeenth and has been introduced to puréed food since, I’m nowhere near ready to give her ‘solids’ yet. However, baby led weaning is also lovely and you’ll find loads of good videos online to show you ideas. Also the app ‘Solid Starts’ is good because you can search any food and it will show you how to cut it safely for babe x

We’ve done baby led weaning from 6 months and he eats basically the same meals as we/his brother does, just cut appropriately for him

My son is 6 months and he’s eating toast, crumpets, ham, potato, omelette’s, weetabix, pancakes, vegetables and some baby crisp puffs.

Yes. My baby hates purees, so we went straight to little bits of toast, banana, Avocado etc

@Stacey omg! Was your Charlie born on the 5th October too!! Crazy!! 😳😱 x x

Thanks for the advice everyone!! This group is amazing! I’ll give lumpy foods & vegetables a try today.. 😭 time to start cooking..

My Charlie has been on solids since about 5.5 months. Have him toast for the first time yesterday and he loved it. If you are looking for guidance the book ‘how to wean your baby’ is really helpful!

Download the Solid Starts app if you haven't already! It's so helpful for making sure food is the right size for baby to hold and manage themselves. You don't need to pay the subscription to access how to serve food for baby's age ☺️

@Anna it wouldn't let me create my account without paying a subscription fee so ended up uninstalling it within 2 mins

@Georgia mine did that the first time I downloaded it! When I reinstalled, it let me make an account but then I could exit the subscription bit and now I'm able to use it just to search how to serve foods

@Anna oh brill! I will give it another try later 😁

Little girl doesn't really want full solids even though I always offer.. but loves puree.. although she does love a bit of toast 🤔

my little one is 7 months next week and he’s still on purées which i started when he was 6 months, i tried to move him onto proper food this week but he wasn’t ready x

@Vitali he was!! That’s crazy!!,,
